    Love or hate her, you have to give Serena a lot of credit. 20 Grand slams....2 shy of the all time record and she'll shatter that record barring an injury. I've never seen an athlete with better mental strength than her....everything in the world can be going wrong, but she wills herself to victory. Looking forward to Stan-Novak tomorrow.

    i love serena
    one of the greatest athletes ever... period

    novak is the best player in the world right now and it's not even close
    but stan is tough and could benefit from djokovic having just endured a tough five-setter against murray plus an extra days rest
    that said, if novak is on his game no one can touch him

    Serena is insane.
    I dont think well see a more dominant player in tennis
    Her talent is beyond any other female player. In fact she has the talent to be undefeated any given year and win all 4 majors like nothing
    im always amazed when she gets beat. When you see her play esp when shes on her game its unfathomable that anyone can beat her lol

    Fuck novak. Never liked him tbh
    Luckily his match with Murray was suspended so although it was a 5 setter, it was played over two days. So i doubt theres gonna be much residual effects in terms of fatigue
    Love Stan though. The one handed backhand is fucking sexy to watch

    btw anyone watching FCB and Juventus?

    Not a Serena fan, but no denying her dominance. She literally does everything better than every one else...Serve, return, movement, mental strength.

    After 37 years, the triple crown has finally been won again. American Pharoah won at Belmont.

    Stanimal Wawrinka!! What an epic performance. He has now taken out Rafa and Djokovic in Slam finals.

    so there's rumbling about Julius Randle playing some small forward in the near future. he's down to 235lbs or whatever. i worry about him defensively at SF, but then again i worry about his defense at PF as well. however, i can see the appeal of Randle getting time at SF if the other forward has the ability to step outside as a shooter to complement Randle's post game..even better if both the PF and center can step outside and be threats to knock down shots.

    personally, i'd feel way better about Randle and Love playing together if both are at the forward spots and neither one's at center trying to anchor the defense. if the Lakers can land a center with range like Towns, and he teams with Love up front, Randle should have a lot of space in the mid/low/high post against opposing SFs and that's advantage Randle. they could be a pretty versatile trio if used that way.

    ^It wouldn't shock me to see neither center being selected until the 3rd pick. I'm probably being sucked in to the rumors floating around but I just have that feeling.

    Towns and Okafor go 1-2 for sure.

    Let's get Omer Asik.

    Both should be picked top two barring a trade.

    Could definitely work. Have at least one of Love/Randle on the floor at all times. Love can play in the post the 10-18 or how ever many minutes Randle is on the bench each game and when Randle is in the game with Love, he could theoretically play the 3 on offense due to his very versatile offensive skill set. Only thing is the defense though

    Lol, I am by no means a Cavs fan, I really really have no horse in this, but the refs have been paid. This is a joke and why I don't watch the NBA much anymore.

    Refs are fucking up so bad in OT.

    LeBron was fouled, Curry jumped right into JR.
